Obituary notice was taken from the Carroll County Comet, Wednesday, December 14, 1988

When the students from Camden were placed in the DCHS school system we were lost for the first couple of weeks. Mr. Myers always made us or at least me feel welcome and took the time to direct us to where we needed to go. I never forgot that all the way through high school. He was also a great teacher and always called us pupils.Gayle Willis Kamp
